Payung Kertas Village located at Pandanwangi Village, on the bank of the Bango river. The preliminary research showed that the environmental care behavior of residents of the riverbank area is to be low considering. Many residents choose to throw garbage directly in the river, construction residential houses in the Kali Sari watershed, and several indicator of the lack of environmental awareness of watershed residents. Awareness-raising will be easier to do when activities are started, designed, and carried out by communities with social problems. The aims of this community service is to empower communities to solve social problems. The formation of environmentally conscious communities is carried out through a tiered process by encouraging active citizen involvement. The method used in the fomation rof environmental care communities is carried out with a social intervention approach that utilizes action research. Social change is carried out by emphasizing three stages namely the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. As a result of this community service, a community caring for the environment was formed with the first movement in the form of sorting waste from inside the house, synergizing with waste transport officers, and periodically monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the environmental care movement.
Background: The number of people with heart failure significantly increases every year. One of the problems associated with the increase in the number of rehospitalization patients is the inadequate knowledge of self-care. Therefore, this study aims to determine the nurse-patient interaction capable of providing adequate care to post-treated heart failure patients in intensive care rooms.Design and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with the consecutive sampling method used to obtain data from 100 post-treatment heart failure patients in intensive care rooms. PPIQ (Patient Professional Interaction Questionnaire) was used to measure nurse-patient interactions, while Self-care readiness was determined using the SCHFI (Self-Care Heart Failure Instrument).Result: The result showed that there is a significant correlation between nurse-patient interactions and their readiness to care for post-treatedeart failure patients in intensive care . Furthermore, both variables have a moderate and positive correlation strength and with a correlation coefficient value of 0.557.Conclusions: The yearly increase in the number of re-hospitalized patients in hospitals can be reduced with an increase in nurse-patient interaction. This enables patients to have the ability to take proper care of themselves after leaving the hospital.
Manajemen nyeri yang optimal merupakan salah satu upaya penting dalam lingkup layanan Rumah Sakit. Nyeri yang tidak tertangani dengan baik dapat menyebabkan masalah tambahan bahkan memperlambat perbaikan kondisi pasien. Perawat merupakan petugas kesehatan yang harus mampu dalam mendukung upaya tersebut. Pengkajian nyeri yang tepat akan menjadi dasar manajemen nyeri yang optimal pada pasien.Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan perawat dalam melakukan pengkajian nyeri pada pasien komunikatif maupun dengan gangguan komunikasi, sehingga sehingga perawat dapat melakukan pengkajian nyeri secara tepat, rutin, dan terstruktur. Hal ini diwujudkan dengan melatih perawat dengan berbagai teori tentang pengkajian nyeri, terutama penggunaan skala nyeri dengan berbagai kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing dan penerapan penggunaan skala nyeri tersebut.Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Rumah Sakit Universitas Brawijaya, Kota Malang pada November-Desember Tahun 2019. Metode kegiatan yang dilakukan terdiri dari: focus group discussion, pre-test dan post-test, dan pemberian materi.Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan pengkajian nyeri ini dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan perawat tentang pengkajian nyeri. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa pelatihan pengkajian nyeri pada perawat perlu dilakukan secara berkesinambungan untuk mendukung upaya manajemen nyeri yang optimal.
Aim: This study aimed to describe adverse events occurring during intra-hospital transportation of adult patients from the emergency room to the intensive care unit and to analyze the associated risk factors. Design: This study uses a quantitative analytical observational design. Methods: In total, 151 critically ill patients out of 159 with indicated intra-hospital transportation participated in the study. Patients were transported from the emergency room to the intensive care unit in a class A general hospital in Central Java, Indonesia. The statistical analysis included descriptions of demographic, medication, monitoring, equipment, and clinical characteristics of the cohort, and identified risk factors for adverse events during transportation by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: The overall incidence of adverse events was 78.8%. Risk factors were: transport team, hemodynamic monitoring, equipment preparation, and patient's condition, and were associated with adverse events (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that equipment preparation was the factor most contributing to adverse events with Exp(B) = 22.6. Conclusion: This study showed that the incidence of adverse events during transportation of critically ill patients was high. We recommend that transports be performed by fully equipped teams of medical professionals. Monitoring of intra-hospital transportation-related events is also recommended to reduce frequency of adverse events.
The higher dependence rate of elderly people in Ponorogo can make their quality of life lower.Unfortunately, how the quality of life can influence the mental emotional health is still unknown. The purpose of this research was to identify the influence of the quality of life to mental emotional disorders of older adults. The design of this research was Observational correlational with cross sectional approach. This research was held at 4 working areas of health facilities in Ponorogo district in East Java from March to May in 2015.This study included 200 elder people as participants and 50 sampling quota in each health facilities. The data collection in this study was assessed with 2 instruments. First instrument was used in this study developed by World Health Organization in Quality of life (WHO QOL-BREF) and second instrument was Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ). The Pearson Correlation test was performed in this study (SPSS version 20). The researchers found out that there was an influence of quality of life (physical health, psychologic, social relationship, and environment) on mental emotional disorders in elder people (p-Value < 0.05). This result revealed that quality of life in older adults influenced the mental emotional disorders. The improvement actions that can be proposed to decrease the mental emotional disorders of the elderly are the elderly are able to have an easy and quick access to health and general service facilities to support the mental well being of older people.
Hemodialysis adequacy describes a measure of the hemodialysis doses. Automatic measurement of adequacy through a hemodialysis machine has a more efficient advantage and can be accessed at any time. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between adequacy hemodialysis and the quality of life among chronic renal failure patientsundergoing hemodialysis. This study used a correlational analytic observational study with a cross sectional design. Data analysedwith the Spearman Rank correlation test. The subjects were 31 chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis, determined by consecutive sampling method. Data were collected retrospectively through hemodialysis record and the KDQOL SF-36 questionnaire. The result was there was no significant relationship between the adequacy of hemodialysis and quality of life in all dimensions of quality of life except for the dimensions of the physical composite (p=0,013, α=0,05) r=-0,449. There was a relationship between length of time undergoing hemodialysis and physical composite (p= 0,046, α=0,05), r = -0,367. The conclusion is confirmation of adequacy with blood urea examination is necessary.Monitoring machine monitor curves for smooth access, Qb, duration of hemodialysis and recirculation during hemodialysis is important to support the achievement of the expected adequacy. Evaluating the quality of life of patients needs to be done regularly.
Background: Non-adherence to the recommended therapy causes patients with heart failure to experience recurrence of the disease. Reminder book on therapy adherence is very useful, because it assists in monitoring adherence to therapy carried out by patients while at home. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of the existence of a reminder book on adherence to therapy among patients with heart failure in a private hospital in Malang.Design and method: A pre-experiment design with one-group pre and posttest was used. The respondents were 18 patients that received counseling on the management of heart failure therapy while at home and were given a reminder book. Furthermore, the modified MMAS-8 scale was the study instrument used to measure adherence.Result: The results showed that most respondents were above the age of 65 with a treatment duration of 1 to 5 years. It was discovered that most of the respondents had never received information about heart failure therapy. Data analysis which was carried out using the Wilcoxon test with a p-value of 0.001, showed that there was a significant difference between respondents' compliance before and after being given a reminder book.Conclusion: From this study, it was concluded that providing a reminder book has an effect on therapeutic adherence in patients with heart failure. Researchers recommend that hospitals should make use of this reminder as a tool to control or supervise outpatient therapy.
